When off playing at Pay and play site etc how do you stop the water getting in the head lights.
Filled mine up twice now its got a tide line inside the headlamps.

They are ****e, no doubt about that, maybe sealed beams for headlights and a few good spots on the roof would be the answer

4 on the roof and a pair on the bull bars. Maybe i have nothing to moan about.

Actually, the ones on the bull bars are full of water and are never wired up, and the wiring to the roof ones caught fire a while ago and i never fixed it. They would probaly be brighter if i wasnt running all four off 5 amp wire and a 5 amp switch...:scratching_chin:

Yeh sealed beam would sort it but are crap, had them as a nipper in Minis, fitted the H4 for that reason and yes the spots on the bar also fill up with water and those are Landrover ones.
Trouble is will have to change them out for the MOT later as no doubt the tester will say below light out put etc
Maybe roof mount is the way to go.
Doing this tend to fill them up, done it a couple of times!
